THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C.
EISENHOWER AND RUSSIANS
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, a real
diplomat, has been making progress
toward friendship with the Russians,
but got a setback the other day.
U. S. officials entering Eisenhow
er’s office found him despondent.
He was holding a copy of Time mag
azine.
“Look at that,” he said, “six
weeks’ work gone.”
Eisenhower pointed to a picture
of a female entertainer in a Berlin
night club standing on her head,
legs apart, holding a picture of
Stalin between them. Time had re
produced the picture.
“And just as I was making some
progress with Marshal Zhukov,”
Eisenhower mourned. “First he
would scarcely see me. But re
cently we have become pretty good
friends. When I go into his office he
says, ‘Here’s to Ike.’ ”
Eisenhower went on to tell how
Zhukov was blazing mad over the
Time magazine picture. He had just
come from seeing the Russian com
mander who had demanded:
“What are ; ou going to do
about this?”
“Nothing,” replied Eisenhow
er.
"What! You let the American
press make mockery of the mar
shal?” exclaimed Zhukov.
“That’s what we fought the
war for—the right to criticize,
the right for people to say what
they please,” said Eisenhower.
Eisenhower went on to explain to
the Russian that because one news
paper or magazine published a pic-
tuie of Stalin, it did not reflect
the sentiment of either the Amer
ican government or the American
people, and that the American gov
ernment scrupulously refrained from
censoring the press on matters of
this kind.
However, the Russians continue to
be sensitive. It is hard for them to
understand the difference between
a regulated press as in the Soviet
and a free press as in the U. S. A.

NEW SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
President Truman really let his
hair down with Senator Burton when
he called him in last week to tell
him he was being nominated to the
Supreme court.
Catching Burton just before the
Ohio senator was about to leave for
C-ncinnati, Truman told him that
he had actually promised the Su
preme court job to another man,
Robert Patterson, now secretary of
war, but changed his mind.
“Harold,” said Truman at the
start of the interview, “I’ve made
up my mind to appoint you to the
Supreme court.
“You were always my first
choice,” Truman continued, “but I
had some vacillations. I considered
appointing Phillips of Denver, Park
er of North Carolina and Patterson.
“Finally I decided to appoint Pat
terson and told him I was going to
appoint him.”
Truman then explained that It
was better to leave Patterson in
the war department to replace
Stimson as secretary of war.
“One of the things that disturbed
me about your appointment,” Tru
man continued, “was the probable
claim that I might be playing poli
tics in order to get a Democratic
senator from Ohio.” (Truman had
in mind the fact that Governor
Lausche of Ohio, s Democrat, now
can appoint a Democratic senator
to replace Burton, a Republican.)
“So I talked it over with Alben
Barkley,” Truman explained, “and
he advised that if I was convinced
you were the right man, I should
appoint you and let political conse
quences go hang.”
Note—Truman had picked up
Senator Barkley at Paducah,
Ky., the evening before and
flown him back to Washington in
his special plane, at which time
they had conferred regarding
the Burton appointment. Tru
man, incidentally, seems to be
leaning more and more on sage,
experienced Barkley for advice.

CAPITAL CHAFF
c. President Truman still keeps up
his rapid-fire early-morning appoint
ment pace, sees as many as 15 visi
tors before lunch. Greek Publisher
Basil Vlavianos visited Truman the
other day, caught him sneaking a
yawn and long stretch between call
ers.
C. A new breath of fresh air in the
post office department: Gael E. Sul
livan of Chicago, assistant postmas
ter general.
«. Visitors to the Franklin Roose
velt Memorial library at Hyde Park
have doubled since the late Presi
dent’s death. Mrs. Roosevelt gave
each of Henry Morgenthau’s chil
dren a trinket from the former chief
executive’s desk as a memento.
C. When Nelson Rockefeller was
eased out of the state department,
workers in that building were
startled to see truckers removing
the furniture from his office. He had
furnished his suite with his own fur
niture. When the truck pulled away,
even the chandeliers, which were
Rockefeller’s personal property, had
been taken.
C. Suggestion to Paul McNutt—
check on why General MacArthur
and Philippine President Osmena
permitted so many Jap collabora
tionists to keep high office in Manila
since liberation of the Philippines.
On the New York
Scenic Railway:
The long parade and the exciting
band music in the fierce rains and
winds north along Fifth Avenue —
with hardly anyone among the pedes
trians brave enough to pause and
watch. (What dope insisted upon
that parade, anyhow, in such pneu
monia weather?) . . . The knots of
nuts cluttering up Columbus Circle
— exercising their Constitutional
rights with double talk about the
next war. . . . The blinking elec-
tricks on the Broadway signs em
bellished by the penmanship of the
furiously falling rain. . . . The 59th
Street management’s reply to freez
ing tenants: “No heat until October
1st!” The Waldorf has it, however.
. . - Miss Liberty, everyone’s favor
ite pin-up gal, winking happy hellos
to shiploads of returning veterans,
who fought for her honor.
The cacophony of buses, taxis,
trolleys, cars (and women) as they
merge at 34th and Broadway in what
seems like an inextr.cable tangle—
then miraculously emerge again
without a fender dented — a sym
phony of NYClatter. . . . The aroma
of oncoming autumn heralding the
return of King Football and rah-rah-
coon coats—the signal that Ma Na
ture’s getting set to wield her brush
with those magic browns, yellows
and reds. . . . Staten Island’s shore
line still brimming with the imple
ments of war. . . . Newly inducted
soldiers, without war ribbons—look
ing like overgrown Boy Scouts.
Broadway, washing her face of
war paint, trimming her war
time hustle and bustle and set
ting her coiffure with the bright
est of lights for the postwar
hoopU. . . . Faces and facades,
absent for too long, reappearing
with joyous smiles, like exiles
who’ve been given a reprieve.
. . . The red, white and blue
service flags now flecked here
and there with stars of gold—
grim reminders of those who
fought the good fight and won’t
come back. . . . The be-medaled
private, cane in hand, strutting
down Vth, tilting his MacArthur
corncob pipe at a jauntily pre
carious angle.
The book stores along the Gayer
White Way advertising “Social
Dancing” instead of “How to Pre
pare for Your Army I. Q. Test” . . .
The 42nd St. Army & Navy stores
offering “Tailor-Made Sailor Suits”
at reduced prices. . . . Drug-stores
with signs shouting, “Yes, We Have
•Bobby Pins.” . . . The honey-sweet
“Thank you” from the cutie behind
the ciggie counter at the Waldorf.
. . The dance hall on 7th Ave.
where the GIs go to cut a rug on
Saturday nights. It is called “The
Midtown Youthop'a.” . . . The sub
ways, returning to their eerie dawn-
patrolling — half empty, looking
semi-nude without their early ayem
sleepy war workers.
The chatterers in Bryant Park
trying to figure out what’s worth
arguing about. . . . The medieval
architecture of St. Patrick’s, getting
its modern face-lifting — grudgingly
yielding to the hordes of busy work
ers while kids feed the pigeons on
the steps. . . . The faded picture
of FDR almost hidden in the side
window of a downtown picture gal
lery. . . . Tie wisies who diller-dol-
lared their war time moo on non
sense and frillies—eyeing the Wise
Men who sunk theirs in bonds—and
are holding on to them. . . . The big,
new department store being dug
at 53rd and Vth, with a knot hole
fence knee high . . . Sign in the
window of a 7lid Street eatery—
“Waiter Wanted — Bring Refer
ences.”

The colorful ribbon of light
whirling around the neck of the
Times Bldg, waving all that
good news to the Broadway
gapers. . . . The Brooklyn Navy
Yard and its half finished ships.
. . . The one-armed window
gazer on Madison and 43rd with
battle ribbons on his gray flan
nel civvies. . . . The long line of
want-addicts in front of the
Madison Avenue U. S. Employ
ment offices. . . . The Bowery

—built by Alexander Hamilton as his
country home.
General MacArthur Receives Emperor Hirohito
Japan’s emperor went to meet Japan’s conqueror, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. It was the
first time in 2,000 years of Japanese history that a mikado had left the royal palace to be received by a
foreigner. Emperor Hirohito, “The Son of Heaven,” was dressed in formal morning attire, not in his flam-
j boyant dress of admiral or marshal. The conquered ruler bowed to American correspondents.
Uncle Sam’s Most Expensive Private First Class
Pfc. Arthur Griser, insert, whose wife and 11 children are shown awaiting his return from Europe to their
Pitcairn, Pa., home. They have been married 12 years and have three sets of twins among their 11 children.
Their army allotment of S280 a month is believed to be the highest paid to any private first class. Griser is
just as anxious to return to his family as the paymaster is to be relieved of this expensive soldier.
It’s a Long Walk Up to the Top
Football Gains Speed
View of crowded Empire State building lobby after elevator strike
[ went into effect. Workers seem hesitant about climbing stairs to their
(offices, and have backing of health authorities who put limit at eight
[flights for workers under 30 years old.
An example of the quality type of
football being displayed this season
is demonstrated by Dan Dworsky of
Sioux Falls, S. D., who will play
fullback for Michigan. The end of
the war has released navy stars.
x ten about the “T.” And yet it
is surprising the number of sidlin-
ers who keep writing in to ask just
what the “T” is and how it works.
We’ll try, with no promise of suc
cess, to make it simple—for the
last time.
1. The “T” doesn’t demand
old-fashioned blocking or hard
body pressure. It depends more
on speed and deception.
2. It needs a hard-hitting full
back who can split an opened
line.
3. It needs a fast-moving back
who can circle a massed or
tightened line.
4. It demands a good passer
who can work with deception and
smooth ball-handling.
These latter three qualities put
heavy pressure on any defense. The
greatest pro “T” I
ever saw operate
was the old Bear
brigade with Luck-
man, Standlee, Gal-
lernau and McAfee,
if my memory isn’t
too fuzzy. They hit
you every known
way.
The greatest col
lege “T” I ever saw
at work was Notre
Dame’s 1943 outfit
with Bertelli,
Creighton Miller, Kelly and two or
three good fullbacks. They fell far
away when Bertelli left, who was
not only a great passer but the
smoothest and trickiest ball-handler
I’ve seen around. Ask Rip Miller,
Captain Johnny Whelchel of Navy or
Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech.
It’s true that the old Bears and
Notre Dame’s 1943 squad would have
been hard to handle under any sys
tem. Material makes the system
more than any system ever made
material. And material has made
more coaches than any coaches ever
made material.
The main answer to football suc
cess is your playing strength—the
forward wall and the backfield—
your man power. And don’t ever
let anyone tell you a different story.
Football coaches have done great
jobs. Their general average is the
highest in sport. But the best still
need good football players to have
winning teams.
After all, they can’t rush out on
the field and do their own pass
ing, running, blocking and tackling.

Sports Fans’ Squawks
Sports fans who move up into the
50 or 60-million class, ranging from
ages between 10 and 80 years, are
certainly entitled to their beliefs,
their squawks, their praise and their
blame.
For, after all, they are the big part
of sport, the major part by at least
90 per cent. They pay all the ex
penses, all the salaries. They make
both amateur and pro sports pos
sible. And in too many cases they
only get shoddy treatment and take
the big shove around by both ama
teur and professional promoters.
They are taken for granted. They
are rarely given any consideration
from baseball, football, racing, box
ing, golf or other sporting directors.
They are usually the goats, who
have grown accustomed to taking
the worst of It. Their hardihood and
their capacity for punishment is the
most amazing feature of sport.
They are too often packed in after
the manner of human sardines at
race tracks and other sporting cen
ters. They are too often over
charged.
It has been said there is no law
that forces them to take this beating.
This is true. But they happen to
love their games, whether it is box
ing, baseball, football, racing, golf
or something else.
They are astonished at little cour
tesies they are so seldom shown any
where or any time by the hired peo
ple who live off their main outlet for
recreation and entertainment.
They are really an amazing breed.
They take it on the chin and on the
shin, back of each ear, in the stom
ach and also in the pocketbook.
Grantland Rice
The three Pinion brothers, Billy, 15, left; David, 19, on bed; and
I Lloyd, 12, right, all crippled by muscular dystrophy, a rare disease, usually
fatal, shown as they await their sad fate at the home of their widowed
mother, near Salisbury, N. C. The boys were recently taken to Duke
university hospital where doctors said they could do nothing for them.
William Dewitt Mitchell of New
York, a lifelong Democrat who
served as attorney general under
President Hoover, has been appoint
ed counsel for Pearl Harbor ouiz.
Courses Too Tough
Take golf, for example. It has
always been my belief that any golf
course should be trapped only for
the star player. Put all trouble out
beyond the 200 yard mark which
the average player can’t reach.
The duffer or average player has
enough trouble trying to hit the ball
or get his bogeys. Why should he
pay uncounted millions to make his
golfing life more miserable?
We have built too many golf
courses against the skill of the pros
and the crack amateurs who, aft
er all, give most of their life to golf
I—and who pay nothing in return.
Who cares whether a pro shoots
a 63 or a 58? Why build courses to
keep him from breaking par on
courses which the average golfer
can’t handle in a 95?
| The Nelsons and the other par-
breaking stars are a breed apart. Let
them go around in even 3’s. Who
cares? But why keep punishing the
98 per cent who pay all the freight?
Golf is our greatest playing game
for everyone. It is a friendly and a
companionable game, demanding its
share of psychology, philosophy,
sportsmanship and nerve control—
as well as physical skill.

Modern life with Its hurry and worry-
irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess add
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
